“Peace is more than the absence of war.”
‘This thing called Life.’

‘…remind ourselves how good and how important is to be, well, a weirdo, to let your freak flag fly, to live life out loud and proud, to shock the bourgeoisie, to cultivate a social conscience, to make ethical art that is connected to a spiritual purpose, to own your work and to own your name in a culture of commodification, to stay rooted to your beginnings and to practice and master your craft. We’re here to get through this thing called Life…’
Beautiful and complex expose on the life of Prince and his contribution by writer Jason King for NPR.

‘Compassion is an action word with no boundaries.’
‘A strong spirit transcends rules.’
‘…in this life, you’re your own crazy. Go crazy.’
Stories are powerful, as is the story teller. Today on twitter, a post shared from The Daily Beast’s Matt Wilstein to remember a special night after the SNL 40th Anniversary Show, in New York City’s The Plaza, as could only be told by someone who shares the passion, compassion, and enthusiasm for music and musicians, Jimmy Fallon. On The Tonight Show the next evening, for millions of us who weren’t invited to the party, Fallon made us feel like we were. And Prince was there.
